Few copies of this ephemeral item can have survived. (No copies appear to show up on Jisc or WorldCat.) 20pp, 4to. Small print. Stapled. In very good condition for such a publication: lightly browned paper, with one off-centre horizontal fold. The item can be dated from the films listed on the two pages of ‘Talkie Film Songs’ seem to all date from the 1930s (e.g. ‘The Cowboy and the Lady’ and ‘Song of the Saddle’). Title page has box containing a list of ‘Immortal Melodies by Victor Herbert’. The catalogue begins with vocal music in alphabetical order by tune, from ‘Across the Still Lagoon ... Sidney & Burhnam’ to ‘Zuyder Zee ... Nat. D. Ayer & R. Nelson’. Small sections of duets, songs, humorous duets, musical monologues follow, and then the instrumental section, subdivided into various groups. Pp.12-14 carry ‘Musical Comedy & Revue Successes’, and pp.15-16, ‘Talkie Film Songs’. Loosely inserted is a large leaf of purple paper, printed on one side, with various items under the heading ‘Roland’s Pianoforte Tutor “The Best in the World”. The slip can be dated from references to the Deanna Durbin films ‘Spring Parade’ (1940) and ‘Nice Girl’ (1941).
